C'mon Get Happy: Lottery Winnings for Everyone!

posted by Heather White -

Someone in New Jersey hit the Mega Millions jackpot last Friday for $521 million. Last we checked, they still hadn't come forward. But we do know where the ticket was sold.

A guy named Ameer Krass owns the gas station in Riverdale, New Jersey where the winning ticket was bought. And he's getting a $30,000 check from the lottery for selling it.

But instead of keeping all that money for himself, he splitting it with his employees! All 10 of his employees will get a chunk of it. It's not clear how much, but he's also giving a portion to charity.

He actually promised them he'd do it before he knew how much he was getting. He says he didn't realize it would be such a big check. $30,000 was more than he was expecting.
